Thanks Crash for the nice welcome.

I think the belt may be the issue. After putting in maintenance mode (thanks for that tip!) the cart performed correctly and as expected. No hesitation and fired right up.

But, the belt is old, narrow and cracked. Maybe when there is just enough wear to start the slippage and last night the moisture from the water was more than it could overcome?? Just a hunch right now. Let me get the belt swapped out and I will report back. Hopefully I can get that done today.

Thanks again!
